Chana Stocke, Elizabeth Lundgren and Janice Merrill were named top producers by Minnesota Housing for their homeownership program loan production volume during 2022. Minnesota Housing top producers are committed to helping homebuyers build equity and wealth through successful homeownership, North Shore Mortgage said.
